Mr. Nepstad is uninformed about Nebraska if he thinks the Omaha Zoo is the best (and only) thing that Nebraska has to offer. Obviously he has never visited - The acclaimed Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron Or the sand hills Or seen the sandhill crane migration (and if he were lucky, the whooping cranes) Or the Platte River Or Ft. Kearney Or seen the Karl Bodmer watercolors (from the Maximilian expedition up the Missouri River, 1833-34) at the Joslyn Art Museum Or Ashfall fossil beds Or Chimney rock And Mr. Nepstad is equally wrong about the Iowa CHILD project I hope that all those opposing the Iowa CHILD fiasco-in-the-making, will keep up the good work.
